Explanation:

<u>Types Of Energy Transfers</u>

Heat can be transferred in three ways: by conduction, convection, and by radiation.

Conduction is the transfer of energy from one molecule to another by direct contact.

Convection is the movement of heat by a fluid such as water or air.

Radiation is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves.

Two particles are fixed to an x axis: particle 1 of charge q1 = 2.78 × 10-8 c at x = 15.0 cm and particle 2 of charge q2 = -3.24

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Refer to the attached figure. Xp may not be between the particles but the reasoning is the same nonetheless.
At xp the electric field is the sum of both electric fields, remember that at a coordinate x for a particle placed at x' we have the electric field of a point charge (all of this on the x-axis of course):
$E=\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{q}{(x-x')^2}$
Now At xp we have:
$\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{q_1}{(x_p-x_1)^2}-\frac{1}{4\pi\varepsilon_0}\frac{3.29q_1}{(x_p-x_2)^2}=0$
$\implies (x_p-x_1)^2=\frac{(x_p-x_2)^2}{3.29}\\
\implies(1-\frac{1}{3.29})x_p^2+2(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)x_p+x_1^2-\frac{x_2^2}{3.29}=0$
Which is a second order equation, using the quadratic formula to solve for xp would give us:
$xp=\frac{-(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)-\sqrt{(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)^2-(1-\frac{1}{3.29})(x_1^2-\frac{x_2^2}{3.29})}}{(1-\frac{1}{3.29})}$
or
$xp=\frac{-(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)+\sqrt{(\frac{x_2}{3.29}-x_1)^2-(1-\frac{1}{3.29})(x_1^2-\frac{x_2^2}{3.29})}}{(1-\frac{1}{3.29})}$
Plug the relevant values to get both answers.
Now, let's comment on which of those answers is the right answer. It happens that BOTH are correct. This is simply explained by considring the following.

Let's place a possitive test charge on the system This charge feels a repulsive force due to q1 but an attractive force due to q2, if we place the charge somewhere to the left of q2 the attractive force of q2 will cancel the repulsive force of q1, this translates to a zero electric field at this x coordinate. The same could happen if we place the test charge at some point to the right of q1, hence we can have two possible locations in which the electric field is zero. The second image shows two possible locations for xp.

The weight of a body of certain mass becomes zero in space.why?write with reasons

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

Weight is what you get when a certain amount of gravity is acting on that mass, and something, like the surface of a planet, is resisting that action. In space, when falling freely, there's nothing resisting the pull of gravity so weight disappears. Mass however stays.

The radar system of a navy cruiser transmits at a wavelength of 1.4 cm, from a circular antenna with a diameter of 2.7 m. At a r

Goshia [24]

Answer:

Distance will be 49.34 m

Explanation:

We have given wavelength $\lambda =1.4cm =0.014m$

Diameter of the antenna d = 2.7 m

Range L = 7.8 km = 7800 m

We have to find the smallest distance hat two speedboats can be from each other and still be resolved as two separate objects D

We know that distance is given by $D=\frac{L1.22\lambda }{d}=\frac{7800\times 1.22\times 0.014}{2.7}=49.3422m$

So distance D will be 49.34 m

A machine lifts a 35 kg object doing 6860 J worth of work. How much power is produced by the machine if it lifts the object in 4

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need the power equation for this which is

P = Work/time

We have everything we need to solve this (the mass of the object is extra information):

P = 6860/4

P = 1715W
